IIA-CIA-Part2 Exam - Question 254


An organization's board would like to establish a formal risk management function and has asked the chief audit executive (CAE) to be involved in the process.

According to IIA guidance, which of the following roles should the CAE not undertake?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The chief audit executive (CAE) should not accept management's responsibility for risk management without board approval. Doing so would compromise the CAE's independence and objectivity, which are critical for effectively auditing and providing assurance on risk management processes. According to IIA guidance, maintaining independence and objectivity is essential for the internal audit function to perform its responsibilities effectively.
